We are thrilled to announce two new members of the Northwest Neighbors Village (NNV) board. Lisa Gore and Kevin Mulshine have impressive backgrounds and a long history of serving their community.

Lisa Gore began her federal law enforcement career as a bilingual Probation Officer in Washington, D.C. Over the years she held interesting positions as a Special Agent for United States Customs and later for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Office of Inspector General (OIG). Her work at HUD and OIG led to a career overseeing FHA-insured mortgage fraud investigations and negotiating the first partnership between HUD OIG, FBI, and AARP to develop fraud awareness initiatives for senior homeowners.

Once Lisa retired in 2021 she directed her attention toward her community as an Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner (ANC). Now in her third term as the Chairperson for ANC 3/4G, she is deeply involved in education, transportation, pedestrian safety, housing, and zoning issues. Lisa also created the ANC 3/4G Racial and Social Equity Committee to engage commissioners and community members on social equity issues.

Lisa earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology (Spanish concentration) from the University of Virginia and is a graduate student at the University of Illinois, Geis School of Business. She has been a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. since 1989, organizing and participating in hundreds of hours of community service. Click here to read Lisa's full bio.

Kevin Mulshine is the former Inspector General for the Architect of the Capitol (AOC). Kevin served as the Acting General Counsel, Deputy GC, and Chief Employment Counsel for the AOC. Prior to joining the AOC, he was Senior Advisor and Counsel to the Congressional Office of Compliance (now the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights) and had a 15-year career at the National Labor Relations Board. Earlier, he served on the staff of a New Jersey member of Congress. Kevin is a cum laude graduate of the Howard University Law Center. Kevin was an A.B. Graduate of Livingston College, Rutgers University.

Kevin has been an active volunteer at NNV for eight years, offering hundreds of hours of practical help and friendship to NNV members.

In 2026, we say farewell to board members Merilee Janssen and Lenore Lucey. After ten years on the board, Merilee leaves behind a legacy of kindness, inclusivity, and strategic visioning. Merilee was awarded the 2021 Volunteer of the Year. Fortunately for us, Merilee will remain a beloved volunteer. Lenore Lucey ended her four-year term. Lenore has volunteered with NNV for years. During her time on the board, Lenore has been a wonderful ambassador, participated in strategic planning, and brought her architectural experience to help plan on future Village space. Lenore has moved just over the NNV catchment line but will remain in touch.

We are so very grateful to all of our board for their many contributions to NNV's success!
